Chiropractor for Iliotibial Band (IT) Syndrome

A chiropractor specializing in iliotibial band syndrome can help ease discomfort caused by IT syndrome through various treatments and adjustments. Seeking a chiropractor iliotibial band syndrome can provide effective, non-invasive relief and support recovery.

What is Iliotibial Band Syndrome

Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) is an overuse injury that influences the iliotibial band, which is a thick band of tissue running from the hip to the shin along the outside of the thigh. This condition typically causes pain and inflammation on the outside of the knee, where the band rubs against the femur. ITBS is prevalent among athletes, particularly runners and cyclists, due to repetitive bending and straightening of the knee. Treatment often involves rest, stretching, and physical therapy for iliotibial band syndrome to ease symptoms and prevent recurrence. 

Additionally, adding strength training and proper warm-up routines can provide additional help in managing and preventing ITBS. Consulting with a healthcare professional for personalized treatment plans is one of the most important decisions. Such professionals, including both traditional doctors and certified chiropractors, can provide you with a treatment plan for your specific case, avoiding all-size-fits-all solutions.

What are Common Symptoms of IT Band Syndrome?

Here are some common iliotibial band syndrome symptoms:

  • Outer Knee Pain. Sharp or burning pain on the outside of the knee.
  • Tenderness and Swelling. Along the outer thigh and knee, where the iliotibial band runs.
  • Pain Extension. Discomfort may extend up to the hip or down to the shin, affecting both right iliotibial band syndrome and left iliotibial band syndrome.
  • Clicking or Snapping Sensation. Felt in the knee during movement, indicating friction of the band against the femur.
  • Knee Stiffness. Particularly after physical activity or prolonged periods of rest.

These symptoms can impact everyday life and professional activities, making it important to find suitable iliotibial band syndrome treatment.

What Causes Iliotibial Band Syndrome

Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) is usually caused by overuse and repetitive stress on the iliotibial band. Common iliotibial band syndrome causes include activities with repetitive knee bending and straightening, such as running, cycling, and hiking. Poor biomechanics, like improper running form or uneven leg length, can increase the risk of developing ITBS.

Other factors for iliotibial band pain syndrome are weak hip muscles, tightness in the iliotibial band, and inadequate warm-up or stretching before physical activities. Sudden increases in training intensity or duration can also lead to ITBS. Additionally, running on sloped surfaces or wearing worn-out shoes can worsen the condition, leading to inflammation and pain.

How can a Chiropractor Help With IT Band Syndrome Treatment? 

A chiropractor can provide effective treatment for iliotibial band syndrome using various techniques aimed at reducing pain and improving function. One common method is spinal and hip adjustments, which help realign the spine and hips to reduce tension on the iliotibial band. This realignment can ease pain and improve mobility.

Chiropractors also use soft tissue therapies, such as myofascial release and deep tissue massage, to relieve tightness and inflammation in the iliotibial band. These iliotibial band syndrome therapies help to increase flexibility and reduce discomfort.

Stretching and strengthening exercises may be another component of chiropractic care. Chiropractors provide exercise programs to strengthen the hip and gluteal muscles, which can help prevent further strain on the iliotibial band.

How Do You Prevent Iliotibial Band Syndrome?

Preventing iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) involves using several practices. Start with a proper warm-up and stretching routine before engaging in physical activities. Focus on stretching the iliotibial band, hip flexors, and quadriceps to maintain flexibility.

Strengthening exercises targeting the hip and gluteal muscles can help support the iliotibial band and reduce strain. Add exercises such as lateral leg raises, clamshells, and hip bridges into your routine.

Gradually increase the intensity and duration of your workouts to avoid sudden overuse injuries. Ensure that your running form and posture are correct. Running on even surfaces and wearing appropriate, supportive footwear can also reduce the risk of ITBS.

Regular cross-training with low-impact activities like swimming or cycling can help maintain fitness while reducing repetitive stress on the iliotibial band. Finally, listen to your body and rest if you experience pain or discomfort to prevent worsening the condition.

Dr. Peyton is so great and accommodating! First of all, she has explored several ways to help with pain and discomfort. I also appreciate how she will educate you on techniques and anatomy before administering care. I always feel better after my adjustments when i leave there. Second, she has been incredibly accommodating of my needs as a new mom. I don’t have childcare yet, but she lets me bring my daughter to our sessions. She goes above and beyond by engaging with my baby. For example, today she finished feeding her and cleaned off a toy that was dropped on the floor because I couldn’t get off the table mid treatment. Amazing level of compassion and support that allows me to seek treatment without childcare.

Dr. Jack Rieke improved my range of motion dramatically in one session. I had fallen down a step on a spike grated platform. The multiple punctures had mostly healed, but I could only bend my knee 90 degrees. Dr. Jack also treated my neck, upper back and ankle that were injured as well as improved the motion of knee to almost full range of motion. He spent more time than expected responding to each area of concern making a huge difference in my ability to move without pain! I highly recommend this practice for anyone looking to improve their mobility.

I saw Dr. Peyton Habenicht-Rieke for neck/back pain. She completed an extremely thorough history of my health, including past pains and current. She provided education on why I may be having this pain and went into depth on her plan to help me gain mobility and relief from her treatment. I was also provided suggestions and exercises on what I could do to relieve pain in between visits. I look forward to future sessions as I feel her knowledge and skills will provide an improved overall health for my body, versus something temporary.

Ok. So the doctor knows his stuff, and willing to share it on a level that means something. Took care of the worst pain and numbness to my right leg I have ever had. The exercise routine he has given me, will change my muscle issues for the better and I believe, how I will age.So, now my left leg was acting. No injury. Hoping it would go away on its own. He treated it, tuned an exercise to address the issue for the future. Feeling better after one day! Getting older is rough. I'm glad I have Dr. Reicke to help me along!

Dr. Jack is fantastic. I’ve gone in sporadically for lower back pain and with his treatment and stretches, I’m always so much better when I leave. He takes his time, really listens, and is so knowledgeable. It’s great that he gives me stretches to do at home to keep my back from acting up.

Dr. Jack’s expertise has been very helpful fixing and promoting healing for my sciatica problem. I started seeing him in early September following an injury in August that was significantly painful and had caused restricted mobility for weeks. My former longtime PT left the state a few years ago and I went to Dr. Jack with a high recommendation from my husband.Dr. Jack is kind, upbeat, very knowledgeable, and he has been extremely integral in helping me get through this physical issue.The office is modern, clean, and well-equipped. Staff is very friendly and efficient. I highly recommend Cross-Up Chiropractic!

Dr. Jack & Dr. Peyton are the best in town. Dr. Jack takes him time, listens and helps get to the root of the issues.

I highly recommend this practice. A+++

I absolutely LOVE this center and Dr. Jack and Dr. Payton. Our whole family goes here. Let me just say that, while I have worked with wonderful chiropractors in the past, there isn't anyone that is as comprehensive as Dr. Jack and Dr. Payton are. One recent example, I came in for an adjustment and complained of feeling sleepy and not having the clearest head. Dr. Jack analyzed and had me do a few head movements to reset (something dealing with inner ear) and my head cleared up within 2 minutes. Other recent examples - I had headaches and Dr. Jack did a TMJ adjustment that made them go away. My son had a forearm injury, Dr. Jack stepped up with Occupational Therapy. My wife is raving about Dr. Payton for help with her issues. My shoulder was hurt and Dr. Jack fixed it, etc. etc. etc. They truly are the best place to go if you're in need of a chiropractor, acupuncture, physical therapy, or nutrition. Every time I get more and more impressed. If you're in Libertyville, Vernon Hills (like I am), Mundelein, or any of the surrounding area - you really should check them out! Thank you Dr. Jack and Dr. Payton!!!

After calling Dr. Rieke, while in immense pain with my IT Band injury, he gave me immediate instructions about how to stabilize my injury at home until my appointment the very next morning. Once in his office, Dr. Rieke alleviated the majority of my pain during the very first visit (I crawled in, and was actually able to walk out.) He spent about an hour with me and throughout the entire visit explained the dynamics behind his methodology. It really helped to be educated about my condition which allowed me to better understand the road to recovery. Can't thank Dr. Jack enough for his knowledge and expertise – along with his compassionate bedside manner. He's a real pro!

I wish I could rate more than 5 stars! I do not submit reviews often but Cross-Up Chiropractic is hands down the best Chiropractic office I have ever been to. They are the most caring doctors who listen to their patients and create plans that will fix the issue(s) long term and not put a bandaid on them. Dr. Peyton has helped me overcome injuries that I thought I would have to live in pain for the rest of my life. I always leave my appointments feeling like a new person! At every appointment I have she continues to educate me on why my pains are occurring and how we will be fixing them for a long term. She has introduced me to acupuncture, cupping and nutrition! My healthy and body are in a completely different place from where I was 4 months ago and I owe it all to Dr. Peyton! I cannot say enough amazing things about her!

I am completely happy with my results I look foward to more help in maintaining this stabilized move forward. Thanks to Dr. Rieke my long months of pain will be in the past.

I really enjoyed that she taught me PT exercises that I can do from home to help speed my recovery. From the first phone conversation I could tell that she is informed & she listened to all of my concerns.

Dr. Jack is fantastic. I’ve gone in sporadically for lower back pain and with his treatment and stretches, I’m always so much better when I leave. He takes his time, really listens, and is so knowledgeable. It’s great that he gives me stretches to do at home to keep my back from acting up.

Dr. Jack’s expertise has been very helpful fixing and promoting healing for my sciatica problem. I started seeing him in early September following an injury in August that was significantly painful and had caused restricted mobility for weeks. My former longtime PT left the state a few years ago and I went to Dr. Jack with a high recommendation from my husband.Dr. Jack is kind, upbeat, very knowledgeable, and he has been extremely integral in helping me get through this physical issue.The office is modern, clean, and well-equipped. Staff is very friendly and efficient. I highly recommend Cross-Up Chiropractic!

Dr. Jack has been helping me with my wrist and knows what he's doing. So refreshing after dealing with other doctors just sending my around for x-rays, 5 minute discussions and surgery with no guarantees.

Dr. Jack & Dr. Peyton are the best in town. Dr. Jack takes him time, listens and helps get to the root of the issues. I came into the office for the first time thinking I would just get a quick adjustment, but it also included stretching, exercises & treatment! These doctors genuinely care about getting you better. I highly recommend this practice. A+++

I absolutely LOVE this center and Dr. Jack and Dr. Payton. Our whole family goes here. Let me just say that, while I have worked with wonderful chiropractors in the past, there isn't anyone that is as comprehensive as Dr. Jack and Dr. Payton are. One recent example, I came in for an adjustment and complained of feeling sleepy and not having the clearest head. Dr. Jack analyzed and had me do a few head movements to reset (something dealing with inner ear) and my head cleared up within 2 minutes. Other recent examples - I had headaches and Dr. Jack did a TMJ adjustment that made them go away. My son had a forearm injury, Dr. Jack stepped up with Occupational Therapy. My wife is raving about Dr. Payton for help with her issues. My shoulder was hurt and Dr. Jack fixed it, etc. etc. etc. They truly are the best place to go if you're in need of a chiropractor, acupuncture, physical therapy, or nutrition. Every time I get more and more impressed. If you're in Libertyville, Vernon Hills (like I am), Mundelein, or any of the surrounding area - you really should check them out! Thank you Dr. Jack and Dr. Payton!!!

Dr. Rieke displayed a great depth of knowledge regarding my back issue. He gave me some exercises that appear to be working. Treatment is ongoing, but I'm optimistic He appears to be both competent and confidant.

After calling Dr. Rieke, while in immense pain with my IT Band injury, he gave me immediate instructions about how to stabilize my injury at home until my appointment the very next morning. Once in his office, Dr. Rieke alleviated the majority of my pain during the very first visit (I crawled in, and was actually able to walk out.) He spent about an hour with me and throughout the entire visit explained the dynamics behind his methodology. It really helped to be educated about my condition which allowed me to better understand the road to recovery. Can't thank Dr. Jack enough for his knowledge and expertise – along with his compassionate bedside manner. He's a real pro!

The doctors here research nutrition, active release technique and LISTEN to the patient in our family. The doctors take time to communicate with the patient to understand the patient's health situation. The doctors ask the patient for feedback and use their knowledge to adapt treatment accordingly. I highly recommend!

Dr Rieke was fabulous. He took the time to thoroughly review and discuss my history, asked lots of questions and really listened. His assessment included asking fur my feedback on pain, discomfort and the like. This helped him determine what was happening and what treatment was called for. I look forward to continuing our work together.

I wish I could rate more than 5 stars! I do not submit reviews often but Cross-Up Chiropractic is hands down the best Chiropractic office I have ever been to. They are the most caring doctors who listen to their patients and create plans that will fix the issue(s) long term and not put a bandaid on them. Dr. Peyton has helped me overcome injuries that I thought I would have to live in pain for the rest of my life. I always leave my appointments feeling like a new person! At every appointment I have she continues to educate me on why my pains are occurring and how we will be fixing them for a long term. She has introduced me to acupuncture, cupping and nutrition! My healthy and body are in a completely different place from where I was 4 months ago and I owe it all to Dr. Peyton! I cannot say enough amazing things about her!

I was referred to Dr. Reike by a friend and I’m so happy I was. I’m a chronic pain patient with extenuating circumstances. In only two visits I have more mobility than I’ve had in 13 years!At your first opportunity, give them a call and make an appointment, you’ll be glad you did!

I’ve been dealing with sacroiliac back pain from a back injury two years ago. One appointment with Dr. Jack helped minimize my pain immediately! I’ve treated the injury with both massages and physical therapy, and this treatment was equally as beneficial.

Outstanding experience, solving pain from a pinched nerve after 3 doctors and several MRI’s and pain meds over nearly 10 months, all with no solution until I came here!

Dr. Peyton Habenicht worked with me for over two hours for my first session and adjustment. She was thorough & informed me of more details regarding my injury. I really enjoyed that she taught me PT exercises that I can do from home to help speed my recovery. From the first phone conversation I could tell that she is informed & she listened to all of my concerns. If you are hesitant to see a chiropractor, don’t worry, with Dr. Peyton you are in good hands. I can see her passion and commitment to her profession. Also she charges fairly & this is refreshing. I highly recommend her!!!
